Evil Master and Disciple

Liu Shiheng was startled when he saw a man in a bamboo hat leaning against the entrance of the secret room.

He thought it was a disciple of the Demon Sect who followed in.

But when Liu Shiheng saw the peanuts in the hand of the man in the bamboo hat and half of his face that was burnt and disfigured, his expression suddenly changed.

He knew that this person was the mysterious man who had announced at the Wuyun City Inn the day before that he would seek revenge on him for the blood debt thirteen years ago.

"You...who are you!"

Liu Shiheng said sternly.

He is not a fool.

Through everything that happened tonight, he had guessed that there were two groups of people who came to Xiaoyao Sword Sect.

One group is the evil cult monsters, who are only after the fragments of the jade sundial.

The first one was the young man in the bamboo hat in front of him. He came to seek revenge on him.

The young man in the bamboo hat raised his head slightly and looked at the panicked Liu Shiheng with a playful look.

He ate peanuts and said, "Why, the day before yesterday I sent your followers to bring you a message, didn't you receive it? I said I would take your head within three days, and I mean it."

Liu Shiheng forced himself to calm down. He said, "We have no grudges against each other, so why are you picking on me?"

"No grudges or hatred? Sect Master Liu is truly a forgetful person. Thirteen years ago, you should still remember the Guo family in Qizhou."

Liu Shiheng's face darkened slightly.

It turned out that they came for the people from the Guo family in Qizhou.

However, all the people in the Guo family were killed that night.

The only people who knew this secret were those who were involved in the incident.

How could there be a person who wants to avenge the Guo family thirteen years ago?

Could it be that as he guessed, it was Tianxing Valley or Baolong Guan that wanted to use this matter to deal with him?

But this is unlikely.

Thirteen years ago, these two factions also participated.

The exposure of this matter will not benefit either of them.

"Are you Guo Wei's son?"

The young man in the bamboo hat said, "You don't need to know who I am. You just need to know that I'm here because of the murder that happened thirteen years ago."

Liu Shiheng stared at the young man in the bamboo hat.

He slowly tightened his grip on the magic sword in his hand.

Liu Shiheng knew very well in his heart that the disciples of the Demon Sect outside wanted this fragment of the jade sundial. After taking the thing, the disciples of the Demon Sect should retreat.

But the young man in front of him was here to take his life.

He saw that the man in the bamboo hat did not seem to be very old, probably less than a hundred years old, and there was only one person.

If we fight, I may not lose to him.

"No matter whether you are a human or a ghost, I didn't kill you thirteen years ago, and today I will kill you again."

Liu Shiheng's cultivation was not weak. He stabbed the young man in the bamboo hat with a sword. The sharp sword energy whistled, and a strong wind blew in the secret room.

The man in the bamboo hat smiled contemptuously.

With a crisp sound, the long sword in his hand was unsheathed.

The moves of the young man in the bamboo hat had no aesthetic appeal at all. He shattered the incoming sword energy with one sword and then rushed forward.

It was impossible to display sword skills in the narrow secret room, so the two sides engaged in close combat in the secret room.

The surging true energy and strong wind instantly extinguished the two oil lamps on the wall.

The secret room was pitch black.

Only the flashing sword lights intertwined and collided.

After about seven or eight breaths, Liu Shiheng screamed, his body flew out, and hit the wall heavily, seeming to smash a lot of things.

The man in the bamboo hat waved his hand slightly, and the candles on the wall lit up again.

At this moment, Liu Shiheng fell to the ground, spitting blood, and the green sword in the hand of the young man in the bamboo hat was against his throat.

A hint of a sinister smile appeared on the ugly face of the man in the bamboo hat, and he said, "Are you convinced?"

Liu Shiheng closed his eyes in pain and said, "Kill me if you want to, don't say anything more."

"He does have some backbone, haha..."

The young man in the bamboo hat said, "I can kill you, or I can give you a way to live."

"Survival? Haha, now that the truth about what happened back then has been revealed, there's no way for me to survive. Boy, tell me who you are, and let me die knowing full well."

"A clear death? Did you let those people from the Guo family die with a clear mind back then? However, I can indeed give you a way to live."

Liu Shiheng said, "Humph, you want to know from me who were involved in this incident back then? Forget it!"

The young man in the bamboo hat shook his head and said, "No, no, no. I'm well aware of the several sects in the Qinglong Mountains involved in this incident, as well as the cave dwellings of those independent cultivators. What I want to know is, did you search the ancient well in the Guo family's backyard that night?"

Liu Shiheng was a little surprised and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Don't you understand me? Let me ask you, thirteen years ago, when you massacred the Guo family, did you search the ancient well in the backyard?"

Liu Shiheng said: "Of course, we can't leave anyone alive in this situation. Ancient wells are easy to hide people, so they have naturally been searched. There are three ancient wells in the backyard of the Guo family, and I searched them all personally."

"No one was found in the ancient well?"

"No. What exactly do you want to know?"

The young man in the bamboo hat looked thoughtful, then said, "One last question. If your answer satisfies me, I won't kill you. Why did you massacre the Guo family? Who organized you to do this?"

"You...you will really let me go?"

"I always keep my word, and I never like killing people."

Liu Shiheng seemed to be having a psychological struggle.

After a while, he said, "I don't know..."

"It seems you're tougher than I thought. Okay, I'll send you on your way."

"Wait... I really don't know. I only know that he is an elder of the Yunhai Sect."

"An elder of the Yunhai Sect? You guys don't even know who he is, and you can massacre an entire cultivation family for them? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"

"He is the shadow, and we dare not disobey."

"shadow……"

"Yes, he's a member of the Yunhai Sect's Shadow Hall. You should know that the Yunhai Sect's shadows only take orders from one person. We're working for that person, so how dare we disobey?"

The young man in the bamboo hat was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll let you have your say for now. Sect Leader Liu, do you know why I chose you over all the sects that participated in the massacre of the Guo family?"

Liu Shiheng said hoarsely, "I'd like to hear the details."

The young man in the bamboo hat said, "According to my secret investigation, you were responsible for killing the women and children in the Guo family's backyard. After killing them, did you take a painting away?"

"You...how do you know?"

"Hand over that painting."

"So you came here for that painting?"

"That's it."

Liu Shiheng looked at a box in the messy secret room.

The man in the bamboo hat put away his sword, walked to the box, and cleared away the debris that was pressing on the box.

Then he opened the wooden box and poured out everything inside.

There are many scrolls inside.

Several of the scrolls were still packed in long and narrow boxes.

"which one?"

The young man in the bamboo hat turned around and asked.

Liu Shiheng stretched out his finger with difficulty and pointed at a green painting box.

The young man in the bamboo hat sucked the green box into his palm. He opened it, took a look, nodded slowly, and said, "You are honest."

He put the scroll into the storage magic weapon, turned around and left, and indeed did not kill Liu Shiheng.
